Harvey Tool 927162 Square End Mill 1/16 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 927162 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding applications where rigidity and edge integrity are critical. With a 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) cutting diameter and a 3/32 inch (0.093 inch) length of cut, this tool is built for tight-tolerance work in small-feature machining. The three-flute geometry with a 42-degree variable helix promotes chip evacuation and reduces chatter, improving surface finish and tool life. Installed by machinists and toolroom professionals, this end mill suits CNC milling operations where small diameter precision tooling is required.

This end mill is suited for small-bore slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The extended reach design, with a 1/2 inch reach length and 2.5 inch overall length on a 1/8 inch shank, gives access to deeper features without sacrificing rigidity. The bright uncoated finish makes it appropriate for a range of base materials where coating interaction is a concern. Single-end configuration means the tool is replaced rather than reindexed when worn.

Key Features

• 1/16 inch cutting diameter for fine-detail and small-feature milling
• 3/32 inch length of cut with 3-flute solid carbide construction
• 42-degree variable helix reduces chatter and improves surface finish
• Extended reach design with 1/2 inch reach length for deeper feature access
• Centercutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpiece
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/8 inch shank diameter collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for 1/8 inch shanks and confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts. At this diameter, excessive side load or improper speeds and feeds significantly increase the risk of tool breakage.
